Twincast / Podcast Episode #121 "SDCC 2015"

SDCC 2015 - In this episode we will be discussing all the latest news coming out of San Diego Comic Con from rumors and reveals to new comics that will be headed to a comic shop near you. San Diego Comic Con, the place where everyone wants to be, is taking place this week (July 9-12) and we've got the latest scoop on all the big surprising and those not so surprising reveals in the Transformers world BUT we decided to throw you a curve ball tonight and start off with a little discussion of non-TF SDCC news that we are each looking forward to.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #120 "Cons"

Cons - Episode 120 of the Twincast / Podcast is all about Transformers conventions. The episode features a special interview with Colin Douglas, co-founder of TFCon, the largest unofficial Transformers convention in the world. A lively discussion follows on San Diego Comic Con and BotCon exclusive figures, including SDCC Devastator and Botcon's lineup of Diaclone homages. The podcast then moves to the most recent Transformers comics, and everyone's favorite part of the show, bragging rights.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #118 "Countdown to Botcon 2015"

Countdown to BotCon 2015 - As we begin the countdown to Botcon 2015, in this episode's special segment the Twincast sits down with Pete Sinclair of Fun Publications. Sit back and enjoy while we find out what really goes in to putting together one of the premier Transformers conventions. You might even hear a surprise or two! As we transition on to some toy talk, we'll discuss our thoughts on a new video that has surfaced finally showing how Combiner Wars Devastator will combine. Images have surfaced of some pretty wild decos of SDCC exclusive Arcee, Windblade and Chromia! Up next, images of the newest member of the Platinum Edition family, Trypticon, have been revealed! Now comes time for one of our favorite segments of the show, another round of bragging rights! Tune in to hear what the cast picked up since the last episode.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #117 "Block Town"

Block Town - We get started with a few of this year's Club exclusive figures: Subscription Service 3.0 Carzap, Club "freebie" Lio Convoy, and Club Store exclusive Nova Prime. Next up we discuss Combiner Wars Leader Thundercracker. With the release of Legions Class Cliffjumper, Skywarp, and Ultra Magnus, some of us want to know what all the Ultra Magnus fuss is about. We move onto something BIG - San Diego Comic Con's exclusive Titan Devastator. Next up is Unite Warriors Defensor with deluxe class Protectobot Groove. The time is ripe ... for a LISTENER QUESTION! News staff member williamjames88's thoughtful query initiates a lively discussion about buying at retail vs online. We get on to some unlikely art-talk with the release of five very cool Fembot concepts by IDW artist Alex Milne. The popularity of female Transformers amongst the fandom, and the demand for more toys of such characters, has been an encouraging trend. Botcon is less than a month away, and we've caught wind of some rumored Waspinator-based army builders. Which of these taste-the-rainbow decos make sense, and which don't? We finish up with some bragging rights!
